To the people complaining about book prices- that has nothing to do with SCC as the prices they have books at are the prices the books cost to buy anywhere period. Yes you can rent from amazon or chegg but really a review about books has nothing to do with SCC or the education you will receive there. To the people complaining about credit hour costs- if you think $180 is too much per credit hour try a university where your classes are $400 per credit hour OR MORE and all your classes are taught by TAs who are literally your age and only have a Bachelors. My time at SCC was enjoyable and the professors were helpful and want you to succeed. That being said intro classes are easy and are high school level. Once you are into the 200 classes things pick up in difficulty as they should. The classes I took with SCC prepared me to succeed at a uni. And also the campus and buildings themselves are much nicer than many parts of unis. 5/5...

As a local automotive business owner, I've hired several students from the Automotive Technology program without any making it past the 90 day probation period we have.

I'm sticking with it, but the problem is obvious now, and it really is too bad as there really are some good teachers in the program such as Tim Hunter. It's still early maybe things...

DO NOT USE SCC BOOKSTORE UNLESS IT’S LAST RESORT. It is aweful. Completely overpriced and non-competitive whatsoever. CHEGG.com is the way to go. There is one lady in particular in the bookstore who is aweful. She almost had steam coming out of her ears when I asked for the ISBN number so I could SAVE $240 by renting (that number is compared to their renting prices, not purchase prices!) my books somewhere else. She was extremely rude and basically kicked me out of the store. It’s not MY fault they are screwing students over. They’re already charging $181/hour for classes, so there is no reason to make a buck on books. I have proof of the difference in price as well. CHEGG...
